Sometimes there are wars and conflicts, and I’d be surprised if the monarchs didn’t use two powerful magic users from their kingdom to their advantage. And during conflicts people get hurt. But there are friends who are there to support them, I suppose.
Just a little headcanon?
In medieval wartime, jesters often had a vital role in battle as a messenger of the king between two warring kingdoms. They’d even get killed doing so (they would literally shoot the messenger). They also waged psychological warfare on the battlefield by openly taunting or mocking the enemy to lower morale, which could also get them killed. This might as well be canon, especially because of the warring Card Kings in the game. Amazing art and headcanon, OP!!!
I was re-watching mirrormask last night and decided to draw out one of my favorite scenes. If you’re never seen the movie you can watch the sequence here – and I recommend you go watch the whole thing. As you can see I’ve taken some artistic liberties..made the hands REALLY generic and gave her dress a different silhouette. I just wanted to keep it simple and minimal.
I wish Mirrormask was more popular because there are so many situations where I want to say “we’ll do what rich people do- we’ll bathe in fish!” but nobody around me would understand
this would be hilarious if you watched weirder movies you Philistines
Me to american animation: I know your stories are great buy why does your animation suck so bad?
American animation: We have to create simplified characters to make the movement faster and more creative and interesting.
Me glancing at Japan:
Me: k.
Hey you know what studios do in America? Due to animators unionizing, instead of paying all the animators proper wage they started sending animation to be done over seas to lower labor costs. Now most studios’ animation are shipped to Korea and China and etc., which means the designs for the characters have to be simplified for easy character animation. Not to mention the history of American animation overall and how the American cartoon style has led towards more simplified styles over the years.
Also animation in Japan, while it does have plenty sakuga stuff, are actually just budget dumps for the best fight scenes. During normal scenes, characters can be very static and has a lot of holds. There’s also the mouth-flapping thing that a lot of animators in America detest. Everything is revolved around budgets for both countries. For America, to pay animators working wages they decided to cut costs and ship labor overseas. For Japan it means terrible working hours and labor, where plenty of animators have fallen ill or even die in their own cubicles.
So watch your fucking language and learn animation history. People like you are the reason why a lot of studios are cutting costs on their workers in America.
